I was really happy to see support for Alias SKUs in the product update today! We have a very large number of these (enough that manually inputting them is nearly impossible) and would love to be able to have them included as a field in the product import. Is this planned?

Is there another shipping program that allows you to do a FSKU and alias SKU. This is something simple and it reduce a lot of work.

Either this, updating sku aliases via the API, or both would be a huge quality of life improvement for anyone who has multiple distributors with overlapping catalogs.

This is desperately needed. We have hundreds of Alias and maintaining them, adding, updating takes us forever. The issue is only going to get worse as we grow and add more inventory items.

Any update on this feature? Just discovered it was not possible but is definitely needed.

Yes, we need this feature badly. We have product listed on Google Express with orders coming through Google Merchant Center. Firstly, there is no integration with Google Merchant Center for ShipStation, but that is a separate issue. Google Merchant Center assigns it's own product ID to products. When the orders come through, the Google ID does not match any of our SKU's housed in ShipStation so a new product with no product details is created causing confusion when we are pulling order items. We've tried to use the Alias's to solve this problem, but we have over 15,000 SKU's that would need the Alias populated. We attempted creating a BOT program to automate this, but there were bugs and it was entirely successful. If there was just a way to import these Alias's to connect them to products via .csv file, that would be absolutely great. Please consider this feature add on.

Shipstation absolutely should be able to use alias Skus for imported manual orders. It makes no sense that an automatic store is able to convert alias sku to the default sku, but imported orders can not. We use stores that are no compatible with Shipstations API, so we have to use the Manual import and separate our own Manual stores. This is very time consuming is we have to convert each product SKU.
